Occupational Immunity Screening
Confirm Protection Where Evidence Is Required
Vaccination records do not always confirm that a person has developed the level of immunity required for a particular role. Occupational immunity screening uses targeted blood tests to assess relevant antibody markers and places the result in the context of vaccination history, timing and workplace exposure. Hepatitis B antibody screening is a common example, particularly for roles involving blood or body fluids. QuantiFERON-TB blood testing may also be required to support tuberculosis screening for healthcare, clinical or other occupational settings, depending on the role and the requesting organisation’s criteria. Other evidence may be required depending on the occupation. A TMB clinician can advise whether testing, vaccination records or a combination of both is the appropriate route.
Key Consultation Requirements
Who Should Consider This Service?
- Employees, healthcare workers, students, contractors and organisations that need documented evidence of immunity following vaccination or before work involving an identified exposure.
Preparation for Your Appointment
- Bring the exact employer or placement requirement, previous vaccination dates, earlier antibody results and any occupational health documentation. The timing of a blood test after vaccination can affect interpretation, so share the date of the most recent dose when booking.
What Happens Next?
Following testing, the result can be reviewed against the relevant requirement. Where protection is not demonstrated, TMB will explain whether further vaccination, repeat testing or another clinical step is advised.
